Matthew Baldwin's Layer 3 Commentary

Lensman

This is how the eye works: light streams through the biconvex lens and collapses to a single point, where it is projected to and interpreted by the brain. Something like that. Dammit Jim, I'm a color commentator, not a ophthalmologist!

So too has Rod taken Mitch flurry of motion, collapsed it to a single image, and taken on the interpretation duties himself. And maybe there's some commentary on the nature of art snuck in there as well--several of the lines veer off into space, never to be observed. Whenever you focus, you lose something in the process; whenever you interpret, you gain.

I love the child in the background, perhaps a reflection of how I am viewing this match from the standpoint of a boy. But where will Mitch lead him? Will we remain safely ensconced in the cinema, watching illusions on a bright white screen, or is it time for us to leave the dream factory and enter the real world?
